Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost

It seems like I've stumbled upon something significant, Wang Linchi thought, quickly finding a clue after searching the Thunder Monkey King's corpse.

The remnants of the Hundred Beast Sect have been preserving their heritage using the Secret Realm system.

Wang Linchi's tone was displeased; he no longer referred to the remaining members of the Hundred Beast Sect as survivors, but blatantly called them remnants.

Quite a few Beast King Species are likely former members of the Hundred Beast Sect, possibly Elders or Deacons.

They found a way to strip themselves of their identities and become Beast King Species, thus escaping the Court's crackdown while retaining their Awakener abilities.

They certainly have their drawbacks, most likely needing certain blood sacrifices. The disciples they've indoctrinated from the outside are then manipulated to bring these blood sacrifices into this place.

Giving a Defense Map to a Beast King Species implies that the person is delivering a meal.

Wang Linchi hadn't provided one, so the member of the Remnants of the Hundred Beast Sect who had transformed into the Thunder Monkey King didn't recognize him. That was why it had planned to use Wang Linchi as a scapegoat.

As for the Thunder Monkey King's heritage, it probably exists, but there's definitely a catch. Even if I acquired it, I might be controlled or manipulated by them.

After searching for a while and finding no such heritage, he assumed that even if he completed the Thunder Monkey King's task, they would continue to string him along, perhaps demanding he risk his life again to find the heritage's supposed location.

He did find a Soul Device, though—a Thunder Cone. He glanced at it once before tossing it into his storage space, primarily because it was useless to him.

It required the thunder attribute to be used.

In that case, it seems the heritage of the Hundred Beast Sect hasn't been cut off yet.

Otherwise, how could they control the indoctrinated disciples from the outside? Wang Linchi couldn't help but think of that disciple who had also entered the Secret Realm. It was likely they weren't there for insurance, but for a reward.

Namely, the corresponding secret technique of the Mountain Copper Level.

This is truly a case of not seeing what's right under our noses, Wang Linchi thought, a cold sneer on his lips.

The Hundred Beast Sect probably planned this long ago. Given the Court's methods, they would only sweep through the Beast Garden Secret Realm once and then wait for it to recover on its own. That recovery period would be the Hundred Beast Sect's opportunity to regain their strength.

Once they've accumulated enough power, they could simply change their appearance and effectively perform a reverse takeover, allowing the Hundred Beast Sect to return to Xian State.

The plan was excellent; apart from the extreme difficulty of implementation, there were few problems.

The Hundred Beast Sect has a Morning Star Level technique. If I could obtain their Hundred Beasts Soul Forging Method, would I be able to unlock the Great View's catalog restrictions directly to the Morning Star Level?

The Hundred Beasts Soul Forging Method was the strongest Soul Forging Method available in the Beast Garden Secret Realm, leading directly to the Morning Star Level.

As for Bright Moon Level and Daylight Level Soul Forging Methods, those could only be found in gigantic and super-gigantic Secret Realms. The upper limit for large Secret Realms was the Morning Star Level—of course, this referred to Soul Forging Methods, not the inhabitants.

The Secret Realm where the Tree of Immortality resided was also a large Secret Realm. Yet, after leaving the Secret Realm and its restrictions were lifted, it could directly ascend to the Daylight Level. Many beings couldn't be explained by common sense.

However, the Hundred Beasts Soul Forging Method is enough for me. Breaking through to the Mountain Copper Level is already a struggle; I shouldn't even think about the Bright Moon and Daylight Levels.

I'm not even sure if my Mountain Copper Level is truly equivalent to that of a normal Awakener.

As long as I can find this group of Hundred Beast Sect remnants, I can slaughter them all.

The Hundred Beast Sect did have a Morning Star Level expert, but that was in the past. After their sect was destroyed, the Morning Star Level Awakener who was the Sect Leader had already died.

So now, the strongest among the Hundred Beast Sect are only at the Elite Gold Level, and they're just barely clinging to existence after losing their bodies.

If a Morning Star Level being truly existed among them, they wouldn't have had to resort to such measures, hiding in a Secret Realm. They could have gone to another state without Morning Star Level Awakeners and re-established the Hundred Beast Sect. Xian State wouldn't have cared; they only manage their own turf.

Fortunately, the mission is complete. This must be the fastest I've ever completed a mission. Wang Linchi had only entered Secret Realms twice, and each time the basic Secret Realm mission had been longer than the last.

A Beast King Species comparable to the Elite Gold Level didn't even condense a Soul Seed? Is there a problem with the drop rate, or is it because of the fusion between the Thunder Monkey King and the Hundred Beast Sect remnant?

Wang Linchi frowned. Normally, an enemy of this strength would definitely condense a Soul Seed.

The Secret Realm has been plundered excessively and damaged. It's also possible there's an issue with the assessment.

Firstly, given my situation, the Beast King Species I encounter should most likely be juvenile—Mountain Copper Level Beast King Species. It's highly unlikely I'd be assigned something stronger.

So, I killed the wrong Beast King Species?!

Wang Linchi realized this wasn't the Beast King Species he was supposed to kill.

So there's still a young Beast King Species wandering in the mountains? What kind of ridiculous situation is this? Wang Linchi grumbled.

I get it now. My presence here probably isn't due to the Secret Realm's arrangements. It's simply because I triggered my Blessing, which led me to this opportunity.

With my Blessing, I might not be able to find any truly terrifying major opportunities, but it seems I can still pick up things like the Beast Armor Technique, which have a limited potential.

As for the Thunder Monkey King, with the Saint Master's and my cooperation, we killed it instantly. There was no danger at all.

Its strength was also questionable. It looked comparable to an Elite Gold Level, but in reality, it was probably only around the Secret Silver Level, perhaps just having entered it.

Probably due to aftereffects.

A fortunate mistake. What a strange turn of events.

Does this mean it's not over yet? There are follow-up events? Wang Linchi couldn't help but feel excited at the thought.

The opportunity brought by the Blessing isn't just the Beast Hunter's Beast Armor Technique. If I dig deeper, I might find the hiding place of the Hundred Beast Sect remnants. Then the Hundred Beasts Soul Forging Method would be within reach! Perhaps after completing this, I could even get an Event Soul Seed.

The Secret Realm's Beast King Species plus the Hundred Beast Sect remnant event—that's a guaranteed Epic Level outcome at least!

There's even a high chance it's the Beast King Shadow Soul Seed. If so, this truly was a fortunate accident.

If I had killed that juvenile Beast King Species, the event chain wouldn't have been this long. At most, it would have involved its parents; anything more would likely have been difficult.

Wang Linchi was thrilled. Blessing is indeed a wonderful thing. I was already suspected of having Strong Luck, and now with the Blessing added, opportunities are practically being handed to me on a platter.

After meticulously searching the cave again, Wang Linchi prepared to leave and find that juvenile Beast King Species, primarily to study its physical structure.

The Thunder Monkey King's corpse is no longer suitable for research due to the strong negative effects it suffered.

Just as he was about to reach the entrance, he heard footsteps.

His eyes narrowed, and he quickly found a concealed spot to hide and observe.

"Master Uncle, Master Uncle, are you there?" a voice called out.

He recognized the voice; it belonged to one of the four Mountain Copper Level individuals. From the address "Master Uncle," it was obvious this was one of the Hundred Beast Sect remnants.

This wasn't the person who had tried to deceive Wang Linchi in the black market; it was a different one.

The man had landed in the same area as him, just in a different spot, possibly quite far away. That's why Wang Linchi had arrived first, and by the time this person showed up, everything had already been taken care of.

"Don't move~" The Saint Master apprehended the man in one smooth motion.

"You... Who are you?!" The man was startled. This was supposed to be his Master Uncle's dwelling; how had another Beast King Species suddenly appeared?

The one who acted was the Saint Master; being non-human, it was naturally perceived as a Beast King Species.

"Who am I? Hehe, you don't need to know. However, I'm very interested in this Hundred Beast Sect that I managed to get out of that old ape," the Saint Master said, though it was Wang Linchi controlling its words. The Saint Master wouldn't speak unless Wang Linchi directed it to.

Hearing this, the Hundred Beast Sect remnant felt a chill creep into his heart. Master Uncle, you died, but why did you have to spill everything?!

"Now, tell me where your Hundred Beast Sect's headquarters is. Otherwise, you wouldn't want me to control you into eating your own flesh and blood, would you?" the Saint Master's grim voice sounded again.

Simultaneously, the man felt a sudden pressure in his mind. A brief contact with his spiritual power made him instantly understand the situation.

If he disobeyed, the thing in his mind would detonate.

BANG. His head would explode.

What was worse, not only could this thing be controlled by his captor, but it would also explode if its timer ran out and his captor didn't extend it. Therefore, he couldn't even think about escaping to a certain distance hoping his captor would lose control.

"I... I'll talk!" The man was on the verge of tears. This was an utter catastrophe that had come out of nowhere.

He had clearly come to deliver a message and receive his reward; how had he ended up in such a predicament?

As for loyalty to the Hundred Beast Sect? Forget it. The higher-ups of the Hundred Beast Sect used secret techniques as bait to control them. Compared to a secret technique, his own life was naturally more important.

"Good. 'A wise man submits to circumstances.'"

"I trust this wise man will lead the way for me." The Saint Master, speaking for Wang Linchi, not only wanted to know the location of the Hundred Beast Sect remnants' headquarters in the Secret Realm but also wanted the man to guide him there.

Actually, I'm also quite curious. Judging from his words, the Hundred Beast Sect does have a headquarters in the Secret Realm. But why would that Thunder Monkey King Elder stay in such a remote and desolate place?

Could it be that he was specifically using the Secret Realm's teleportation mechanism to lure people in?

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that I landed right here? If it had been an ordinary Black Iron Level Awakener, they would probably be in its stomach by now.
